Pros

Building mindset, uber-collaborative, get to learn a ton at an accelerated pace. Incredibly kind people with almost zero political hierarchy. Curiosity rewarded. Experience significant growth at light speed.

Cons

Really lean teams mean more work to do than people, so you have to be really selective about how to spend your time. This should evolve as the teams grow.

Pros

- Awesome Silicon Valley perks: free breakfast, lunch, dinner/snacks/drinks, lots of happy hours and random activities, friendly and fun workplace in the city, unlimited PTO. - You get to work with top talent. I work with a ton of accomplished engineers and learn new stuff everyday. - Great product that has a big future both creatively and in terms of monetization. - The company really invests in your success and goes to great lengths to make sure you're a happy employee. Can really tell a difference compared to my previous employer. - Fantastic work/life balance (though can vary slightly depending on your team/big deadlines). - Warm and friendly culture. You won't really find the tech-bro mindset here that you might find at other companies which is extremely refreshing. - Emphasis on meritocracy and removing bias from decision making in hiring and promotions (unconscious bias training, carefully reviewed and thought out processes, strong diversity initiatives, ect). - Top level directs are friendly and readily available to answer questions/comments.

Cons

- I notice there are a few aggressive reviews on here and I think they are probably situational and exaggerated . Company is a startup growing into a bigger company so there are natural growing pains/reorgs associated with that that some people may have their own opinions about.

Pros

Product & People/Culture Our founder Ben is smart & curious yet very humble - these qualities flow through the entire company. This is the best company and team I've ever had the privilege to be part of. Also, we are building a phenomenal product that will have a huge impact on the world.

Cons

Growing pains are something every successful company faces as they scale however; unfortunately there are people who don't see the bigger picture and have a hard time navigating through this. Commuting for those who live in the city is tough as there is no easy way to get to SOMA via public transportation. It would be great for the company to offer a shuttle solution for those who live in other parts of the city.
